Summary

Assisted reproductive technology (ART) has helped many infertile couples have children. This review examines the health outcomes of children born after in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Pediatric Health
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Assisted reproductive technology (ART), including in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), has significantly advanced infertility treatment since 1978 and 1992, respectively.
  • The primary goal of ART is to enable infertile couples to have healthy children.
  • Despite advances, the health of children born after ART has been assessed in a limited number of studies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review existing data on the outcomes of IVF and ICSI pregnancies.
  • To comment on the limitations of follow-up studies concerning children born after ART.
  • To assess congenital malformations and developmental outcomes in ART-conceived children.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies on ART outcomes.
Keywords:

  • Analysis of data on congenital malformations (prenatal and postnatal).
  • Evaluation of developmental data for children born after IVF and ICSI.

    • Main Results:

    • Limited studies exist on ART child health outcomes.
    • Data on congenital malformations and child development are being collected.
    • Further research is needed to fully understand long-term health in ART-conceived children.

    Conclusions:

    • ART has enabled many couples to achieve parenthood.
    • Comprehensive follow-up studies are crucial for assessing the health and development of ART-conceived children.
    • Understanding potential risks and ensuring the well-being of these children is paramount.
